On the last day of my stay, I
will witness the typical Dutch children's feast 'Sinterklaas', the Dutch
Santa Claus equivalent. The celebration will be in the residence of the
ambassador in Beleza Street.

I will pay more visits for
agenda updates every week, unable to read the announcements on the
billboards and in the (Tigrinya) newspapers.

I visit my favorite bars to
hand the girls their pictures. They are happy that I didn't forget them,
maybe even hoping I will invite them to the Netherlands.
